The League season 4 DVD giveaway

An
Intro To Rad Rafi

(AKA
The Magnificent Mantzoukas)

Enter
To Win A Copy of the Fourth Season of FX’s “The League” – A
Favorite Amongst Sports & Comedy Fans on Blu-ray September 10.

If
you are a fan of The League,
you have had the pleasure of being introduced to Rafi. The outspoken
man-child is the “bro-lo” of Ruxin (Nick Kroll) and painfully
desired best friend of the crew. Just when you think one human being
can’t get any crazier, “grody”, or insane, Rafi proves all of
us wrong. It takes a unique man to bring this character to life on
screen and make you hope you run into him off-screen, and that man is
Jason Mantzoukas. In celebration of the fourth season available on
Blu-ray and DVD, here are our favorite Rafi moments and introduce the
man behind the loveable maniac, Jason Mantzoukas.

Rafi
Gets Social with ‘MyFace’

In
episode “Bobbum Man”, Rafi and Taco channel their inner
Zuckerberg and create MyFace, the world’s first offline social
network, and hilarity ensues.

What
About Jason: Like most
twenty-something’s, Jason ventured after college to explore life
through other cultures, which led him to spending some of his adult
years studying ethnomusicology in North Africa and The Middle East.
The aspiring musician wanted to study music that was used in healing
sessions and meditating.

Rafi’s
Shady Connections

For
all fans of the show, the most memorably awkward friendship is Rafi
and Dirty Randy (played by Seth Rogan). Randy balances a job as a
librarian and adult film director and he enlists his friend Rafi to
help with his latter job.

What
About Jason: Unlike his
character, Jason didn’t dabble in adult entertainment; his rise to
fame was more traditional. Shortly after returning from his stint in
Africa, Jason moved to New York City and joined a developing comedy
troupe, Upright Citizens Brigade, now famously referred to as UCB, a
platform for today’s top comedic
talents. During his early years, Jason belonged to a group that
performed a show entitled ‘Cartoon Chaos’, in which he played the
role of …Ricky Martin.

Rafi’s
Creepy Crush

Perhaps
a bit too much even for cable is the crush Rafi begins to develop on
his, sister. Staying true to how messed up Rafi truly is, we have to
reference the memorable time Rafi attempts to bond with Ruxin over
the inappropriate compliment of his sister and Ruxin’s wife,
Sophia.

What
About Jason: In real life,
Jason has a younger sister whom he’s crazy protective over but not
crazy-in love like crazy Rafi. That’s all we can say about that
crazy topic.

Rafi’s
Gold Pendant

Along
with his memorable voice, enviable beard, Rafi has a unique wardrobe.
We can’t help but notice in our perusing of the greatest Rafi
highlights that he always sports a gold pendant. We want to do more
digging and see if Rafi ever mentions his jewelry, where is it
from…did he steal it, did he win it in a crazy bet?

What
About Jason: Like Rafi, Jason
rocks a beard in real life, which he pairs with the ‘Mantzoukas
Uniform’, a white oxford shirt and blue jeans. His reason for the
basic clothing choice is “to use mental energy for life decisions”
rather than the time spent debating on a trendy wardrobe. His
inspiration? The brief time he spent living in a Greek monastery.

Rafi’s
Quest of BBF (Best Bros’ Forever)

Rafi’s
whole existence is to be included in his bro-in-law’s group of best
friends. Since being introduced in Season 2, it’s hard to imagine
the show without the lovable scruffy loon.

What
About Jason: Jason was
originally brought into the table read and while he was not cast in
the original group, the show creators loved him so much that they
promised to bring him on the show if the series was picked up for a
second season. After the second season, Jason developed the character
Rafi, and we couldn’t be happier.

Relive
your favorite Rafi moments from Seasons 1-3 and top it off with the
Season 4, available on Blu-ray and DVD September 10th.
